Israel asked the United States not to intervene in the Jerusalem crisis or pressure Tel Aviv to stop the recent "escalation in violence" between the Israeli security forces and Palestinian civilians in Al-Aqsa Mosque,
Axios reported on Monday.
According to the site, although the White House has avoided clashing with Israel over the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, the Jerusalem crisis that erupted over the weekend prompted many members of Congress and progressive organisations to weigh in and demand the White House intervene.
